We Support Your Choices

Your Choice for Comfort

Choosing hospice care does not mean you are “giving up.” It means your focus has changed from finding a cure for your illness to being as comfortable and in control of your life as possible.

Your Personal Decision

If you are facing terminal illness, discuss hospice care with your doctor. This is a personal decision about your life and no one needs to face it alone. Call us and we will answer any questions that you may have on how hospice care will benefit you and your family. The earlier you make the decision, the sooner you and your family can access our team and the services we provide.

Honoring Your Wishes

We honor your wishes, focusing on you the person, not just your illness. We address your medical, psychological, emotional and spiritual needs, tailoring our support to what you want and believe will help you the most. We honor your personal journey by making suggestions for your care while recognizing the final choice is always yours.

We encourage family members and friends to not only remain close to their loved one but to participate in that loved one’s care as much as possible as the primary caregivers. We recognize the family's need for ongoing emotional support and help in the day-to-day care of their loved one.

How to Get Started with Hospice Care

Admission to our Hospice is simple. All that is needed is:

A decision by you to discontinue curative treatments (i.e. chemotherapy for cancer);

A desire by you to pursue treatments meant only to promote comfort; and

A referral from your doctor who can state that if your disease continues on its present course, your life expectancy is 6 months or less.

Initial referrals of patients to Hospice are frequently made by family members or doctors. We meet with each individual to determine their appropriateness for admission to Hospice.​

Other Available Options

Hospice of Redmond also provides a Transitions program, for those not quite ready for hospice, as well as Palliative Care, for those struggling with symptom management and needing a holistic approach. These programs are a part of the person centered care that our team offers.
